“…In severe cases, around 3% to 33% of women even have the problem of not being able to go to work or school for 1 to 3 days. For these reasons, it is reported to be a public health issue with socioeconomic effects 33–36 . Similarly, the women in this study were found to be highly affected by dysmenorrhea functionally and emotionally (44.50 ± 14.17).…”

Aim This study utilized a descriptive and relational design to determine the relationship between young women's experiences of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea with internalized misogyny. Methods A total of 487 individuals were accessed. Data were collected through the “Personal Information Form” prepared by the researchers, the “Functional and Emotional Measure of Dysmenorrhea” the “Premenstrual Syndrome Scale,” and the “Internalized Misogyny Scale.” Results The internalized misogyny scale mean score had significant effects on the functional and emotional measure of dysmenorrhea mean score (p < 0.05). The internalized misogyny scale mean score was found to have a statistically significant effect on the premenstrual syndrome scale (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study found that young women's internalized misogyny was highly correlated with PMS and dysmenorrhea, and increased internalized misogyny also increased the severity of PMS and dysmenorrhea in young women.

“…The premenstrual symptoms and dysmenorrhea are reported to affect school life and academic performance (Armour et al, 2019;Tadakawa et al, 2016). Recently, it has been reported that dysmenorrhea increases the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (Nakayama et al, 2020) and increases the risk of giving birth to a low-birth-weight baby (Feng et al, 2021), while PMS increases the risk of hypertension (Bertone-Johnson, Whitcomb, Rich-Edwards, Hankinson, & Manson, 2015). Thus, dysmenorrhea and PMS may influence the future health of young women.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected the daily lifestyle of people, including many aspects affecting young women. Subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic stress and anxiety have been reported related to menstrual disorders (Takmaz, Gundogmus, Okten, & Gunduz, 2021). The purpose of this study was to investigate the intensity and to compare menstruation-related symptoms before and during menstruation among university students in Japan. We conducted an online cross-sectional study from May to July 2021 using a menstrual distress questionnaire (MDQ) to assess symptoms experienced before and during menstruation. Our results showed that of 141 students, five students (3.5%) did not report any symptoms before menstruation and one student (0.7%) had no symptoms during menstruation. We found that the most frequently experienced symptoms before menstruation were skin blemishes or disorder, mood swings, irritability, swelling, cramps, fatigue, take naps, stay in bed, feeling sad or blue, weight gain and difficulty concentrating. The most frequently experienced symptoms during menstruation were cramps, fatigue, irritability, mood swings, take naps, stay in bed, feeling sad or blue, backache, swelling, skin blemish or disorder, and poor school/work performance. The total MDQ score was significantly higher during menstruation than before menstruation. Among the MDQ eight scales, the scores of five scales including pain, autonomic reaction, impaired concentration, behavior change, and control were significantly higher during menstruation than before menstruation. The prevalence of increased appetite and craving for sweets were higher than MDQ symptoms before menstruation. The prolonged exposure to pandemic may have more effect on psychological symptoms than on physical symptoms.

“…Occurrence of dysmenorrhea can also have an etiological relationship with obstetric complications. While incidence of symptoms of dysmenorrhea are typically reported less with increasing age and with pregnancy, experiencing mild to severe dysmenorrhea in young adulthood and prior to pregnancy has been found to be linked to obstetric complications including pre-term birth as well as low birth weight [18][19][20].…”

"A Review of Dysmenorrhea and the Effectiveness of Varying Methods of Menstrual Relief"

Dysmenorrhea refers to the painful cramps experienced during menstrual cycles typically observed in younger females of the reproductive age, often felt as a pain in the lower abdomen and that pain possibly radiating to the lower back and legs. The painful cramping sensation is considered to be brought by excess of prostaglandins and hormones that instruct the uterus to contract during menstruation. Several remedies exist including over-the-counter medications and supplements, herbal concoctions, novel therapies, and lifestyle changes. There exists both research into such relief methods and their effectiveness as well as a need for research and conversation into the effects of primary and secondary dysmenorrhea on daily life and their causes.
